TOBACCO-POUSH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 656,078, dated August 14 -1900. Application filed April 26,1900. Serial No. 14,432. (No model.)

To all 2072 0722, it 12204., concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID H. ALLEN, a citizen oi the United States, residing at Miamisburg, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco Pouches, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a tobacco-pi pe-chargin g device with appliances for foreng a charge of tobacco into a pipe in a quick 1nd convenient manner, avoiding the necessity of taking the tobacco in the hand and spilling or scattering the same, in combination with a receptacle for holdiu g tobacco.

The features of my invention will be more fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention in position for use. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the filling-mouth. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the filling or charging cornpartment, showing the finger-opening. Fig.

4 is a plan view of the charging-nozzle With' the outside clamping-ring removed. Fig. 5

is a perspective view of the outside clampingrin g.

In the preferred form of construction the bag A is divided into two compartments by the draw-string B.

.a represents the bag proper; Z), the fillingcompartlnent above-the draw-string.

C represents a charging-nozzle. For convenience of construction andattachment to the bag this charging-nozzle is composed of two rings.

d represents the main nozzle, which is provided with a tubular portion and a flange portion (1. The tubular portion is inserted in an orifice in one edge of the charging-compartment of the bag, the flange portion resting upon the inside of said compartment.

6 represents a clamping ring or washer, which is secured to the flange d of the charging-nozzle by clips 6. The method of attaching the charging-nozzle may be variously modified.

f represents a slit or opening in the fillingcompartment, preferably opposite the charging-nozzle.

One of the desirable features of my inven tion consists in providing a tobacco-pouch with a filling-compartment separate from the reservoir. This filling-compartment may be filled from any outside receptacle. There are various Ways in which this charging de vice can be employed.

Mode of operation: WVhen the tobacco is carried in a bag, the draw-string is loosened,

the charging-nozzle is inserted into the bowl of a pipe, the tobacco is shaken into the charging end of the bag, and the operator with his finger readily feeds and presses into the bowl of the pipe the desired charge of tobacco, the surplus tobacco being shaken back into the bag and the bag secured by the draw-string.

The device herein shown and described is neat and convenient and economical in the saving of tobacco.

Having described my invention, I claim- 1. In a tobacco-receptacle, a charging-nozzle and a finger-opening disposed diametrically opposite each other in the sides of the receptacle at one end thereof, in a line transverse to its length, substantially as specified. 2. In combination with a bag provided with a draw-string dividing the same into two compartments, a charging-nozzle inserted in an orifice in one of the bag-compartments and a finger-opening opposite the charging-nozzle, substantially as specified.

3. A tobacco-pouch having a reservoir and a charging compartment, a nozzle in the charging-com partment adapted to fit the bowl I of a pipe and an opening for access to the interior of said compartment, substantially as specified.

4. A tobacco receptacle having a reservoir and a charging-compartment, means for separating them, a nozzle in the charging-coinpartment adapted to fit the bowl of a pipe and an opening for access to the interior of said compartment, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

, DAVID ll. ALLEN.
